Swedish Innovator Yung Lean Shares New Single "Skimask"
/"Skimask" is the third track to be released from Stranger, the highly anticipated third studio album from the always unpredictable Swedish innovator Yung Lean. Stranger, out November 10th via YEAR0001, is a breathtaking document which cements his place as a pioneer of modern hip-hop and electronic music. After previously unveiling the hypnotic "Red Bottom Sky" and slick single "Hunting My Own Skin," "Skimask" is Yung Lean's most direct and hard-hitting track yet, set to thrill long-time fans who have followed Yung Lean's evolution from 17 year old viral sensation to influential cultural icon.
Produced by GUD, long-time collaborator and fellow member of SadBoys, the release of "Skimask" follows a huge year for Yung Lean; as well as independently releasing a full-length album Warlord and eight-track EP Frost God, he also embarked on a sold out world tour, featured on Frank Ocean's Blonde, starred in Calvin Klein's #MyCalvins campaign, launched his own Sadboys Gear brand, co-designed a sneaker for Eytys, and dropped a punk album together with GUD as Död Mark. At just 21 years of age, he shows no signs of slowing down.
